📝 draftdesk Live · Self-host

Contract + document drafting for freelancers + solo operators + small shops

Pre-built contract templates (consulting, freelance, NDA, SOW, engagement letter). Fill the blanks in a form. AI rewrites clauses to match your tone + jurisdiction. Export to PDF + DOCX. Version history. Client e-sign link. Local-only — your contracts never hit a third-party AI service that trains on your drafts. For freelancers tired of cobbling contracts from old emails.

What it does

📋

Template library

Consulting agreement, freelance scope, NDA (mutual + one-way), SOW, engagement letter, termination letter, IP assignment, referral agreement. 20+ templates. Built from real freelancer-lawyer reviews, not AI hallucinations.

🤖

AI rewrite

Point at a clause: 'make this friendlier,' 'harder on late payment,' 'California governing law,' 'shorter deposit window.' Runs on local Ollama or your OpenAI/Anthropic key. Your drafts don't train a SaaS.

📄

Export

PDF (print-ready) + DOCX (track changes in Word). Clean typography. Client doesn't know it came from a self-hosted Flask app.

📚

Version history

Every save → a version. Diff view (what changed between v3 and v5). Named versions ("final to client," "after their redline"). Restore any prior version in 2 clicks.

✍️

E-sign link

Send a signable link. Client signs in browser. Timestamped + IP-logged signature. Bound PDF emailed to both parties. No per-envelope fee.

🔒

Drafter-owned

Flask + SQLite + optional local LLM. Your contracts, client terms, pricing all stay on your server. Not fed into a legal-tech SaaS 'contract intelligence' product.
